Graphical Fidelity I Expect This Gen

Twice? Well, then there's no need for me to explain its appeal.

It was by far the best ps4 gaming experience for me, and the biggest mind fuck since MGS2.
The lore, the characterisation, the weirdness, BB, BT, EE, yeah, it's the yummiest salad. Of course i am excited for the sequel.

Not for everyone? Definitelly, it has the handprint of its author, not of a producers comitee or some shit like that.
If it grabs you though, you find yourself humming that song in the shower.


Edit: for the sake of staying on topic. It will probably be a graphical showcase as well. Definitelly in top 5 or 10 this gen, who knows, there are studios with virtually unlimited funds these days.

Story was fine, gameplay was not, even if unique. Unique doesnt always mean good or fun.

Interesting. This isnt using PSSR but their own custom reconstruction solution.

What's funny is that their original checkerboarding technique was absolutely atrocious in the original PS5. Just awful shimmering. Worst ever. They changed the reconstruction algorithm a few months later and resolved all the shimmering issues. And now it seems they are using AI to take it to the next level.

PSSR doesnt seem to be that great according to DF in some games. Maybe GG can share whatever dark magic they are using to reconstruct this image.

Decima is being co-developed by KojiPro and GG. They both use the same version of the engine. Herman Hulst said that kojipro engineers commit their code changes directly to the version GG is using and vice versa.

If kojipro doesnt use it, it would be because they chose not to.

Blue boys trolling people who wanted a more balanced upgrade and a better cpu for 920 euros are never gonna be not funny.

Like a dude said in the df topic, They fucking wasted money on a 2 gb ssd because some people need to have 20 games installed at once instead of just 10, but a better cpu was off the table, so smart.

Veilguard is such a strange game to judge, the graphic is really nothing special, no overly detailed textures or great models or path-tracing but it still look very pleasant to the eyes for some obscure reason that i can't pinpoint...

I don't even think it's the artstyle because it's pretty bog standard fantasy and the art design for most characters and enemies sucks asses.

I'm not even overly impressed by the hairs, they are basically fifa tech from 2-3 years ago, better than most games sure, but hardly groundbreaking, they still look like videogamey ass hairs with all the known limits of the tech.

Same. i believe i said the same thing a few days ago. it has that pixar look. Just got to a beach area that barely looks better than uncharted 4 but i still like the look. its so vibrant and clean.

the problem is that a dragon age game should not have that look.

i think this game doesnt show off well on youtube. people will be impressed when they see it on their screens.

good to see some action focused gameplay. i legit thought it was a walking simulator because they hadnt shown any combat like this before.

Isn't that the case for every game with realistic graphic? Yt kill microdetails.

P.s. this is not a game that you buy for the action parts, i bet the gunplay\ia is gonna be decent at best and i expect a lot of jankiness.

Grant turismo is always the best looking racing game in all aspects expect environment some other racing games looks better than it, and currently they add ray tracing reflections in game alongside its crazy performance and resolution in ps5 pro I don't think it have any competitor, definitely in league of it's own

lol i like how my friends in real life had the same bet, but they all lost. I held out just fine.

The specs were worse than i wanted, 65% more tflops when PS4 Pro had 120% more tflops was already low. But then Cerny said performance was only 45% better, and now it seems the actual performance is barely 30%. Thats pathetic for a console they are charging 100% extra for.

Now if it bombs and goes to $599 with the disc drive packed in for free then yes, i will get it. Even though i shouldnt because my 3080 is around 50% faster and has DLSS, and my setup has a way better CPU that shouldnt bottleneck the new RT features that only seem to be enabled in the 30 fps modes even on the pro.

Fair enough. I’ve tried a few times to move to PC and I just can’t do it. Too many years as a console gamer.

For me the Pro is just an updated PS5. Games which were really struggling with image quality in their 60fps modes will now have much better IQ and games in their 30fps modes will have RT or improved RT.

I’m quite happy spending the money on it for those reasons alone. If some games gain 10fps on top all the better.

Fidelity pro mode starts at 6.00 have better ray tracing reflections, alongside rt shadows and rt ambient occlusion also i don't see difference in gi and I don't know if fidelity pro mode have some small implement rtgi feature or not a but currently i like the current state of insumniac engine with full rt features except rtgi and they confirm wolverine will have it in leaked documents,I really want to see the current wolverine build I am sure it gonna look amazing,

Playing TLOU II on the pro. Switching between pro mode and performance mode and the difference is honestly pretty huge. Not to sound hyperbolic, but performance mode looks like a blurry mess in comparison. Youtube videos really do it no justice.

Feel pretty decent about the purchase already. Seeing GTA 6 in all its glory on day one will be incredible. Among others of course.

Dragon Age kept changing it's look whereas Mass Effect had a more standardized look across 3 out of 4 entries.

DA Origins:

Dragon Age 2:

DA Inquisition:

'Should' is hard to define because it depends on the preference of which DA game you liked the most. If it's DA: Origins or maybe even 2, then I would think those same people would like Veilguard more considering it is going more for DA: Origins and 2's style of cartoonishly emotive.
